K.Mandla's blog of Linux experiences

Minor housekeeping

I’ve made some small adjustments to the software page, mostly in the section regarding terminal applications. I was looking over it the other day and realized what was listed there wasn’t particularly accurate, in one sense.

For example, I rarely — extremely rarely, at best — use irssi, not for any failing of the software, but just because I don’t care for chatting. It’s a good application, and a fine piece of programming, but I don’t have a need for it, so it seems faulty to endorse it.

I haven’t added things like screen or dvtm, or framebuffer applications like fbgrab or fim, mostly because they don’t seem to fit in with the rest. Perhaps they warrant their own section.
